UNSPSC 13101608: Reclaimed rubber

A processed product comprised of alkali processed raw rubber mixed with recycled rubber in powder form.

UNSPSC 13101608 Reclaimed rubber is a Commodity code that encompasses tire and scrap rubber removal, processing, and recycling services procured by state and local governments. Recent solicitations reveal that state and local buyers are seeking vendors to pick up, transport, and dispose of waste tires and scrap rubber generated at maintenance facilities, landfills, and collection sites, with disposal endpoints including tire-derived fuel, crumb rubber applications, and other approved recycling or reuse purposes. The issuing bodies span state departments (Illinois Department of Transportation), county governments (Pasco County Florida, Ventura County California), and special-purpose districts (William S. Hart Union High School District in California). Work under this code includes on-call tire and rubber removal with strict response timelines, dumpster provision and maintenance at multiple sites, compliance with state and federal environmental regulations, and vendor responsibility for transportation and legal disposal at approved facilities.

Geographic activity concentrates in Illinois, Florida, and California based on recent postings. The Illinois Department of Transportation issued an IFB (Solicitation 27494DOTFINADB52458) due June 18, 2026 for pickup and disposal of tires and scrap rubber from 28 IDOT maintenance yards across District 1 (Cook, Lake, DuPage, Will, Kane, and McHenry counties), with the vendor required to hold a Registered Commercial Used Tire Transporter permit and maintain 84 lockable dumpsters across the service area. Pasco County, Florida issued an IFB (IFB-KM-26-097) due June 23, 2026 for waste tire management services from two county collection sites with an estimated annual volume of approximately 1,000 tons, pricing quoted on a per-ton basis with award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; the solicitation includes a local preference provision for vendors within Pasco County or neighboring counties (Hillsborough, Pinellas, Polk, or Hernando). The Ventura County RFB 6528 (due June 24, 2026) focused on e-waste recycling rather than reclaimed rubber and does not represent relevant activity under this code.
